quick spring recipe for wild garlic and asparagus lovers

Bring the water to a boil in a large pot, add a pinch each of sugar and salt. Peel the asparagus and boil in the water for 10 minutes. Remove and reserve the water. Let the asparagus cool briefly. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Wash and finely chop the onion and wild garlic. Sauté both in a pan with a little olive oil. Deglaze with the sherry (or white wine) and reduce briefly. Stir in the cream cheese (or cream). Add a little asparagus water and simmer over medium heat until creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. To make the asparagus rolls, roll two cooled asparagus spears in a slice of ham. Fry in a pan in olive oil on both sides and serve with the sauce. Potatoes go very well with this. Variations: For a vegetarian option, simply omit the ham. The sauce also goes very well with fish and meat. The remaining sauce makes an ideal dip for bread or vegetables and is perfect for starting the barbecue season.
